My weekend days have been okay, but I've been hitting the sugar in the evenings. I'm really re-thinking sugar altogether. I'm reasonably happy with my N-days and I'd like my S days to really just be a flow on of those with the occasional treat/dessert. Not quite there yet. The stretches I've been do...

Amake, I forgot to tell you what capeseed is ... I just googled it and I think it is a type of bread that originated in Sth Africa. It's sold by a local specialist bakery here. It's basically wholemeal bread made with lots of different seeds and grains. I love the rolls because they are both nutty a...

Hi KCCC, I'm very happy for you to post that to your thread - glad it might be of use. I'm finding the book very good. Enough to make me go out at lunchtime yesterday and buy the DVD of the TV series. I have watched two episodes so far and I'm finding it both moving and gripping (but I like that sor...

Hi Amake, I wasn't sure what a paratha was either till I had one! It turns out to be a very thin Indian pancake. In this case, it was filled with a fine layer of ground and spiced lamb and then folded into a square like a handkerchief. It was a bit greasy but very tasty. I suspect a home-made one wo...

I'm one of those people who put on a stone as soon as they hit 40 - and then gained another one slowly but steadily in the decade after that. I do think peri-menopause is a very strange time for some of us re our weight. I know my mother was the same - put on stacks of weight around 4/50 (we have th...

Because I'm suddenly curious about plates (who'd a thunk it after all the time I've been hanging around NoS), I thought I'd bump this thread. I read it the first time, but I'm so maths challenged my eyes glazed over at the numbers the first time around. I thought some of the newer members might also...
